  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and check if the user ID exists.
  If the user does not exist, create the user using the same transaction.
  
  
  
  Check for Typos:
  
  Review the eCATT script for any typographical errors in the user ID.
  
  
  
  User Status:

  If the user is locked or inactive, unlock or activate the user as necessary.
  
  
  
  Client Check:
  
  Ensure that you are working in the correct client where the user is defined. You can check the client in the SAP GUI at the top right corner.

  Related Information:
  
  eCATT Documentation: Review the official SAP documentation for eCATT to understand how to manage users and scripts effectively.
  User Management: Familiarize yourself with user management in SAP, including roles and authorizations, to ensure that users have the necessary permissions to execute eCATT scripts.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU01: User Maintenance
